Reinventar o social: movimentos e narrativas de resistência nas Américas

Overview & Synopsis

Based on an inter-American studies perspective, the case studies composing this volume look into the definition of the social, its traditional configurations and more recent reconfigurations in the wider context of the Americas. It also focuses on past and present crisis and social struggles alongside with the answers, movements, narratives and discourses of resistance they brought about. By exploring new territories, the present volume aims at contributing to the creation of a new grammar and pedagogy of the social deriving from epistemological and practical perspectives on the Americas. This study is interdisciplinary at core, intersecting history, sociology, and criticism on literature, film and music.
